[Cialug] Streaming USB webcam video

[Tom Sellers]

The FTP process is part of the TinCam application.  I do not see any place to change the process.  I have changed various options but none have made any difference in the file security issue.  I have not found where the script for the process is yet.  I may try the other application that was suggested (Flumotion) instead.  
 
Thanks!

That sounds like your ftp server might have a umask setting causing that. Maybe you have the ability to control the configuration and can change the default umask. However, you can use ftp to change permissions. If the task is scripted you could just add a chmod 666 after the put.

I have my camera uploading a still picture to my web page using FTP on a timed basis but when it does so the security permissions are changed from 666 to 600 and the web server will not display the picture until I manually change the permissions back to 666.  How do I keep this from happening?  I am using the same user account to FTP that I use to change the permissions.

I have tried a couple of different programs but neither seems to work as I expected.  I tried a product called TinCam and the other I forgot the name. Maybe someone can save me some time and agrivation by pointing me in the right direction.
